Chapter 625: Foster Brother (27)

Feeling tricked, she suddenly wanted to strangle Gu Liu and pounced on him, saying, "Did you do this on purpose? I know I owe you something, but you didn't have to scare me like this. I can't take it, I really can't take it."

"Stop fooling around."

"I'm going to make a scene. You're bullying me, and I can't even make a scene?"

Wen Wan tickled Gu Liu's itch. Actually, if Wen Wan were calm, she wouldn't be so reckless, but she's in a very irrational state now, so that's another story.

Shame and anger, coupled with her unspeakable lustful thoughts, have emboldened her to act with audacity.

Gu Liu grabbed Wen Wan's hand directly, "Stop fooling around."

Wen Wan: "So, do you think you were wrong?"

Gu Liu: "..."

Looking at the young lady so close to him, her eyes were bright, even appearing exceptionally moist because she had just cried. They were so clear that he could see right through them. He had never paid special attention to them before, because the Liu Qianqian of the past had only looked at him with disgust, revulsion, and hatred, wishing he would disappear.

Instead of being so clean that he couldn't help but want to touch it.

"Will you dare to do it again?"

They were too close. Gu Liu even wanted to back away, but as he did so, he lost his balance and Wen Wan fell into Gu Liu's arms, her forehead hitting his chin hard. At that moment, the nanny came over, looked at the scene in shock, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Wen Wan quickly got off Gu Liu, "You've misunderstood, it's not what you saw."

Nanny: "Miss, I didn't see anything. I still have flowers in the garden to water. I'll go water them first. You can continue."

Then they left quickly.

Wen Yan: "..."

To say you didn't see anything is just like protesting too much.

Wen Wan blushed and ran back to her room. This was too embarrassing. She threw herself onto the bed and shrank under the covers. She never wanted to go out and embarrass herself again.

The system saw this scene.

I'm so happy!

It seems this mission is destined to go smoothly, and he can start thinking about his travel plans for the near future.

Wen Wan couldn't get herself out of bed until it was time to eat, and finally, hunger made her give in.

Anyway, as long as the male lead isn't embarrassed, she isn't embarrassed either.

When it came time to eat, Wen Wan buried her head in her food the whole time, and Gu Liu didn't say anything. This made Wen Wan seem too guilty and making a mountain out of a molehill.

So slowly, she completely adjusted her mindset. But the aunt's eyes kept glancing at Gu Liu and then at her, her eyes full of gossipy thoughts, and she was like a wolf, wishing she and Gu Liu could have eight babies in one go. It was really scary.

After dinner, the aunt went home.

Wen Wan felt uneasy being alone in the same room with Gu Liu, so she continued practicing her scenes.

For some reason, as soon as the line was spoken, the face of the person in my imagination slowly transformed into Gu Liu's face.

Wen Wan's performance was abruptly interrupted.

His face turned bright red.

I feel terrible.

The system was still gloating: "Host, are you feeling your heart race and your mind filled with Gu Liu's face? Congratulations! Based on my experience observing ten thousand couples, you've fallen in love."

Wen Yan: "..."

"What’s wrong with you?"

Gu Liu suddenly asked, and Wen Wan shook her head, "What's wrong with me? Nothing's wrong. I'm just getting into character. Don't bother me. Go back to work. There's so much going on at the Liu family. You can't rest."

Gu Liu chuckled, "Okay, just let me know if you need my help."

Wen Wan: "What can you do to help me? You don't even know how to act."

Gu Liu went to the study, and Wen Wan collapsed onto the sofa. "This is so awkward. Can I move out?"

System: [This is love. You've fallen for the male lead.]

"No."

You are lying.

Wen Wan: "What do you, an AI, know about emotions? Do you even have that thing?"

System: [I don't understand emotions, but I understand you.]

The system thought, "Having experienced so many worlds, even if I've seen them, I've already learned them. Why are you still refusing to admit it?"

Wen Wan sighed helplessly, "But I've already put the female lead next to him, they must have hit it off by now, I can't possibly become a mistress and steal her away, can I?"

System: [Strictly speaking, you are the legal wife. You and Gu Liu are a legally recognized married couple.]

Wen Yan: "..."

"But that was a marriage of convenience! If it weren't for Liu Zhenjiang, Gu Liu and Liu Qianqian would never have gotten married."

System: [Host, why are you so conflicted? Aren't you most familiar with the "arranged marriage to love" plot? If it's not real, then just try to make it real! What's that saying? "Proximity breeds affection." You and the male lead live under the same roof; isn't that a better chance than Zhao Ke's?]

Wen Wan was almost convinced.

"I'm not sure."

System: [What?]

Wen Wan closed her eyes. "I'm not sure if I like him. I've never been in a relationship before. What if I'm misunderstanding him?"

If the system had a human form, it would definitely roll its eyes at this moment, thinking, "So what if it's a misunderstanding? Can't I look at his face for the rest of my life?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Okay, for someone who's obsessed with looks, that face is definitely worth everything.

Wen Wan spent a day thinking it through, and the solution she finally came up with was... to let nature take its course.

If you can do it yourself, then do it yourself.

If I'm not good enough, then so be it.

The main idea is to go with the flow.

So the next morning, Wen Wan changed into a new dress and dressed herself up beautifully, just like a little princess from a fairy tale. She got up early for the first time and greeted Gu Liu, who had already started reading the newspaper.

Who would have thought that such a domineering CEO would still take time every morning to drink tea and read the newspaper? This is truly astonishing; usually, only elderly people would do such a thing.

"Brother, I want to go to the company with you."

Gu Liu didn't even look up. "Okay."

Wen Wan: "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm going?"

Gu Liu looked at Wen Wan and said, "The Liu Group is your father's company. If you want to go, what reason do I have to stop you?"

Wen Yan: "..."

It seems not. "Then I'll go with you. I was just about to take a break and clear my head. Maybe I'll have an epiphany."

On the surface, it was all for acting, but in reality, Wen Wan had her own purpose. She needed to be sure of her own feelings so that she could know what to do next.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Wen Wan got into Gu Liu's car. The driver didn't say anything when he saw her. Gu Liu fastened his seatbelt, and Wen Wan quickly followed suit. Then she took out her snacks and started eating. The best way to ease awkwardness is to have something in your hand and something to eat. This is Wen Wan's usual method. No matter what, food is always a source of security.
